[Mip4] Status update & Recharter effort

["McCann Peter-A001034" <[e-mail]>]

Hi, all,

Traffic on the list has been light lately so I wanted to
provide a status update on our existing work items and kick-start
a discussion on where to take the working group next.

Here is a list of our current work items and status:


draft-ietf-mip4-generic-notification-message-07.txt
  New version was uploaded on 11/3, in response to comments
  from WGLC.  On cursory examination, it appears to me that
  most if not all comments have been addressed.  It would be
  nice to get confirmation of this from those who had comments
  back in July/August.  Then we can submit for publication.

draft-ietf-mip4-nemov4-dynamic-02.txt
  We will issue a last call on this soon, but it has lower
  priority than 2006bis.

draft-ietf-mip4-nemov4-fa-03.txt
  No interest in continuing.  We will drop this item from our charter.

draft-ietf-mip4-rfc3344bis-07.txt
  Still working on the shepherd writeup.  Will be submitted for
  publication soon.

draft-ietf-mip4-udptunnel-mib-01.txt
  On hold waiting on 2006bis; then we will issue WGLC.

draft-ietf-mip4-rfc2006bis-05.txt
  Ready for last call.  Will issue soon.

draft-ietf-mip4-dsmipv4-10.txt
  In RFC Editor's queue.

draft-ietf-mip4-gen-ext-04.txt
  Ongoing discussion on whether to continue this item (see recharter
  discussion below).


Several new work items have come to our attention over the past
few meeting cycles.  Here is a partial list of potential work items
for mip4 going forward.  Please comment on which you would like to
see and which you think should be excluded.


draft-deng-mip4-host-configuration-00.txt
draft-chakrabarti-mip4-mcbc-03.txt
  These two items are related, because DHCP uses IP-layer broadcast
  to deliver DHCPREQUEST messages.  I'd like to propose that we drop
  the gen-ext draft and add these two.  Comments?  

draft-gundavelli-mip4-multiple-tunnel-support-00.txt
  We've had some good discussion already on the mailing list and this
  seems like a potentially useful extension.  Comments?

draft-doswald-robert-mip4-btn-fmipv4-00.txt
  This was presented at IETF-72.  Is there interest in working on it?
  Other comments?

draft-makela-mip4-nemo-haaro-03.txt
  This was presented at IETF-70 and it looks like there have been a
couple
  of revisions since.  Is there interest in working on it?  Other
comments?

draft-acee-mip4-bulk-revocation-01.txt
  This was presented at IETF-70.  Is there interest in working on it?
Other
  comments?

draft-yegani-gre-key-extension-03.txt
  This was presented at IETF-70.  Is there interest in working on it?
Other
  comments?



If I left anything out please speak up.
